Chapter 40: New Gossip

Lu Manjing heard that something was wrong, so she smiled and said, "What is reborn? My father, Lu Langzhong, had already asserted when this child was young that she was just unenlightened, and once she was enlightened, she would be smart and clever. ”

Aunt Wu smiled: "It's true, the blessings of Yuqiao are still to come!" ”

Aunt Zhu felt speechless, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Manjing, you are very dangerous now, if you need any help, don't be polite to your aunt." ”

Others also cared about her body, and some of them spoke flatteringly, and hinted that if the old Gu family was not good for their big house, they could also help.

Everyone knows it.

Gu Yuzhu was secretly amused in his heart, the people in the Gu family's mansion have been mean to their big house for more than ten years, and they have always thought that they are doing a beautiful job, and others can't say anything bad, but in fact, such an obvious disadvantage, everyone is not blind!

It's just that Gu Huaming and Lu Manjing have endured it, and they always maintain their reputation externally, and they can't say anything.

After talking about the serious things, everyone talked about some gossip in the parents.

"By the way, Aunt Wu, it seems that someone came to your house early this morning?"

Osmanthus Village is backed by Lei Gong Mountain, there are no other villages around, and you have to rely on a ferry to enter and exit the village, so it is rare to have a few strangers, which is also a rare thing.

"Ouch, it's a living person, you can't guess what he's here for!" Aunt Wu's tone was very exaggerated, and after successfully attracting everyone's attention, she clapped her hands, "He wants to settle in our village!" ”

"Huh?" Sure enough, everyone was shocked, "There are still people who come to settle here?" ”

No wonder they made a fuss, Osmanthus Village is really small and poor.

There are only 32 families in the village, except for the old Gu family, the people in Osmanthus Village are all surnamed Bai, and the village chief is the patriarch.

In front of the village is the 100-foot-wide Lei Gong River, which cuts off the traffic between Osmanthus Village and the outside world.

Although it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, they dare not enter this Lei Gong Mountain, and this Lei Gong River is also a natural danger, so they only rely on a small amount of arable land to live. In the war years of the previous years, these cultivated lands were sold to many young and old because of excessive taxes and conscription, and became the landlord's family.

The ancestor of the Bai family was a survivor of the tragic slaughter of the village by the Haikou, and he was frightened to hide in this poor mountain and bad water.

And the old man Gu claimed that he was hiding from the war, from north to south, hiding in this corner.

So everyone really can't figure it out -

"Why did the family move here?"

Aunt Wu watched everyone's shocked reactions with satisfaction, and then answered for everyone slowly.

"My old man is also strange, we don't dare to accept people who don't know the truth, so I asked carefully. It turned out that their family was originally a salt household, and they had no land. Shengshang Longen, can't the salt households change their nationality now, they have money, so they want to move, and they like our village, the population is simple, and the people are good. ”

Although everyone still thought it was incredible, in the end this reason pleased everyone.

"Not really! Our village can stay closed at night. ”

"Although there are a few people in our village, they are very united at the critical moment."

"Our village is poor, but with everyone helping each other, no one has ever starved to death in the sad years."

……

Gu Yuqiao listened to everyone's boasting, and couldn't suppress his laughter, sure enough, no matter how poor and bitter he was, the working people still felt that their hometown was very good.

Aunt Wu finally said the result, "The old man of my family saw that the family was honest and honest, so he agreed." ”

Someone asked, "What's your last name?" ”

"The surname is Ning."
